Pinterest and Delicious Recipes!
OH, thank God for Pinterest!! Do any of you feel the same way?
I remember about 2 years ago when my very crafty neighbor said, “Lindsey – you would love Pinterest! It’s this virtual bulletin board where people can follow you and you can find ideas for anything and everything.”
My first thought and comment at that point, “Are you kidding me, Michalle? I don’t have time for yet another social media “time-sucker.”
Now I am thanking her, as I get so many FABULOUS ideas and networking opportunities from Pinterest. Who is the genius that came up with this brilliant site anyways??!
There are certain categories on Pinterest that are uber popular and followed by thousands. Travel tops the list; as finding pins and travel destinations with crystal blue waters and pristine mountain peaks are abundant. Followed closely by fashion tips, home décor ideas and delectable recipes.
I look forward to my “down time” many nights as I sit in bed browsing Pinterest for new house projects for Jay to complete in all of his spare time and delicious new recipes for me to share with our family and friends. Many of the recipes spark and idea and I modify to make them my own.
Two of which I made this weekend and want to share with all of you because they were so healthy, delicious and EASY!!
Chopped Kale Salad
- Rinse and de-stem one bunch of kale and chop into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the juice of 1 lemon, 1 tsp local honey, 1tbsp olive oil, kosher salt and pepper.
